According to the author, this series is basically a massive attempt to roll as many Super Robot Wars games and related mecha series as possible into one series, and is also something of a parody of Super Robot Wars style plots done High School A.U. style yet in a Super Robot Wars style universe, is basically a massive distillation of every SRW property that can be possibly shoved into one continuity.

Note: All series included within have some connection to Super Robot Wars or related works by Banpresto in some fashion. Also included are works related to the series that have debuted in the games.

Alternate Universe - Crossed with Alternate History. At first, the universe of the series was that of Super Robot Wars Alpha crossed with Super Robot Wars Z with a High School A.U. premise, but then we find out that The Edel Bernal from the original Super Robot Wars Z universe almost died after fighting ZEUTH, barely managed to escape to this fanfic universe in a dying state, and what was left of him was reconstituted by Fate to be his personal troubleshooter in cleaning up the events of the SRW High-verse Taichi and making sure nothing would interfere with his plans to build up the ultimate team of badasses to take any threat Fate, Irui Gan Eden or the Ide couldn't take on until they were ready. Before this, the history of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was changed by Kamina defying Fate successfully, which had the ripple effect of Fate having The Edel Bernal deliberately changing history from how it unfolded in the universes parallel to the SRW High-verse.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot - Completely and/or semi sentient AI's are regarded with severe distrust in this universe. Albeit somewhat justified, it is revealed the fear of AI's has been artificially inflated, and in one ironic instance, an AI turns on its creator because said creator wanted it to do evil, while the AI in question wanted to be good.

And I Must Scream - Keiser Ephes and Gauron were subjected to fates that justify this trope, though the latter isn't even able to scream, but he wants to.

Anti-Villain - Kackrinon Cacooler is probably the nicest Titan on the team, aside from being saddled with a case of Lawful Neutral that makes him side with a Lawful Evil organization, but mostly because Jerid Mesa, whom he considers a little brother, is on the same team. Otherwise, he's actually a somewhat decent human being when he's not a Punch Clock Villain.

Apocalypse How - Earth went through Class 0-2 more than once during and before the Black History, with the threat of a Class 5 and 6 during the worst parts, and the universe as a whole during the Taichi nearly suffered an X-4, and up until the Anti-Spirals were confirmed dead, the constant threat of being part of an X-5 was a constant problem.

Four-Star Badass - Kamille Bidan went from angsty naive kid to leader of his own army Londo Bell, and did it all by refusing to bow down to oppression, and instead decided to start kicking ass and taking names, and is now leads a huge portion of the resident SRW High badasses, and despite the fact he's just a Badass Normal, he's proven himself such an effective Big Good everyone who joins the team considers him their leader by default. The full story can be found in Episode 61.

Specifically, The Edel Bernal is one in this universe, albeit as a Type V Anti-Hero. In fact, the cause he serves is good aka: saving the universe, but he often accomplishes this in the most sadistic, For the Evulz manner possible.

Most of the Titans, ironically enough, are only truly effective when these are pressed, as revealed in Episode 61, and even more ironically Jerid's is fueled by The Power of Love and Kackrinon's is fueled by a Big Brother Instinct.

Big Good - Kamille Bidan is the leader of Londo Bell. In a larger sense, Bright Noah serves this purpose for the whole school. Above him is Laker Randolph for the EFA, Maier V. Branstein for the UCC, the Alpha Numbers for the galaxy, and, ironically enough, The Akashic Records\Fate (with The Edel Bernal as his front man) FOR THE UNIVERSE!

Ironically, Bright himself got two of these done to him before he became known for them.

Brother-Sister Incest - Three cases so far involving Knight Valentine, Rom Stoll, and Kazuma Ardygun. In all of them, each of them have feelings for their sisters beyond that of family, and all three are aware of this and want to prevent themselves from acting on those feelings, and have even founded a support group to avert this trope, with varying degrees of success.

As of Episode 60, it's revealed the girls formed their own support group, and they decided to defuse most of the focal points of this trope for the same reasons as their brothers.

Crapsack World - Earth during the Black History. The homeworlds of the Balmar and the Zuvorg turned into this after they fought a very long, bitter war, though they improved after becoming part of The Alpha Numbers. In fact, Earth before the Black History was kinda miserable for humanity, courtesy of the Beastmen.

Crazy-Prepared - Project Aegis is basically a massive collection of fail safes just in case The Edel Bernal misses something. Sousuke and Heero Yuy are noted for this in the military hardware department.

Damaged Soul - The Edel Bernal looks like a God-Mode Sue but he's a Damaged Soul who's only being kept alive by The Akashic Records in exchange for killing every bastard he can find, and if he doesn't do it, The Akashic Records will yank away the power sustaining the remnants of his soul, leaving him to disappear from existence. He also has no guarantee he can recover from physical death anymore, so death is a very real fear for him.

Elaborate University High - It's described as being the size of a medium sized city, has a ton of facilities that most gigantic real world high school-college fusions wouldn't have justified, as it also doubles a massive cross cultural embassy and a secret training ground for the majority of the members of Project Aegis, and provides classes on LOTS of topics, though they specialize in engineering, cultural, and applied sciences which actually is to the benefit of Project Aegis.

Enemy Mine - Asakim Dowin has utter contempt for the Titans. Such much so, he sides with Londo Bell in Episode 30. The Titans themselves side with the good guys over the douchery of Lee Linjun and SchlanOpel.

invokedFixer Sue - The Edel Bernal was turned into in universe. [[spoiler; Specifically, after his almost dead soul escaped the SRW Z universe, he was revived and tethered to Fate to be his personal troubleshooter in regards to cleaning up the Taichi and gave him an enforced Heel-Face Turn.]]

For Want of a Nail - Axis is destroyed by The Edel Bernal which sets the colonies economy back so far that the Principality of Zeon never forms, and it is until the Coordinators decide to emigrate to the colonies do things get better.

Info Dump - Somewhat justified, as the story wouldn't make as much sense without the details.

In Spite of a Nail - Though many events Of Evangelion are blatantly averted, such as Second Impact, many of them wind up happening with the same end results regardless of the altered circumstances such as Asuka's mother going crazy after EVA unit 02 test.

Improbable Age - Discussed and justified. Due to a massive series of bloodshed and conflict 50 years prior to the founding The Federation and the arrival of the Zentradi, the age limit on lots of things like the military, drinking, and sex was drastically lowered to compensate for the lowered population.

However, the Titans themselves get to be complete assholes even by their usual standards when Ramsus and Dungel beat up Ellis Valentine and Leina Stoll for the express purpose of pissing off Rom Stoll and Knight Valentine. However, for their trouble, they do wind up getting beaten to near death as a result.

Knight Templar - Laker Randolph, as revealed in Episode 55, though he does temper this with frequent self reminders he's using villain tactics to serve a good cause and has the moral fiber to realize the fact he's chosen to be as evil as the monsters and warmongers he opposes in his methods in order to secure universal peace.

Necessarily Evil Laker Randolph, because he works with The Edel Bernal, and even though he's a good guy, he's not averse to bloodshed (of Asshole Victims) to secure peace for the Earth Federation and the Alpha Numbers. However, as a counterbalance, he shows frequent disgust and horror at his partner's For the Evulz obsessions.

No Fourth Wall - Gilliam Yeager has visited OUR universe and is quite aware he lives in a fictional setup. The Edel Bernal even addresses the fourth wall and the audience (though not as of yet by name) a few times.

Out-Gambitted - the female Edel Bernal was running SRW High behind the scenes with an iron fist for quite awhile, but she overextended herself by actually hiring an honest man to be her stooge and it blew up in her face. That man? Bright Noah.

Papa Wolf - DO NOT mess with Sanger Zonvolt's adopted daughter Irui. It won't end well.

Well, actually, this is subverted and played with, because the evil scheming get replaced by a benevolent scheme that largely supplants the more negative variant, yet in its own way could be seen as no better, depending on your point of view, though it should be noted the more benevolent scheme is almost certainly the much lesser of the two evils.

Taking You with Me: How the A.I. 1 Core decides to settle things with Eldy Mitte after she kills its human friend Albero Est.

Thanatos Gambit - Shiva Volkruss and Luozuol had one going to screw over La Gias and allow Volkruss to keep reviving even after his body was destroyed. This was thwarted when Shu Shirakawa decides to Take a Third Option and exploits a loophole.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech - Done to Lubikka Hakkener by The Edel Bernal, who basically tells him he's a moron for leaving behind so many angry people in his days of bloodshed, and that as a consequence, he's going to kill him for his Genre Blindness.

Wife Husbandry - Subverted. Ken did not intend for Lou Roux to fall for him when he took her in as a child, and did his best to avert this, but they wound up with feelings for each other anyway, and both are resisting acting on those feelings so far by mutual choice. Also has some Mentor Ship undertones.
